Product Description

Glow Inc.'s brand of glow in the dark paint is a custom-made formula designed to maximize brightness in a durable, all-purpose paint. The engineers included a suspension system that supports the relatively dense glow in the dark particles. It contains no fillers or impurities such as ultraviolet filters, which can interfere with glow pigment. It is durable for indoor and outdoor use and adheres well to most surfaces. Full curing time is 24 hours.

Glow Inc. only uses Grade 0 or Grade 1 pigments, while most Internet sources use Grade 4 or 5. We add those pigments at a ratio of 2 lbs. of phosphorescent pigment to 1 gallon of medium. The combination of high grade pigments, high ratio, and quality medium results in the brightest glow in the dark paint currently available. In fact, our paints are typically three times brighter than those sold by our competitors on the Internet and 20-30 times brighter than those sold in craft stores.

Our sample pack includes one each of our water-based glow in the dark paints.

Additional Information

Glow in the dark paint absorbs bright light as energy. When placed in the dark, glow in the dark paint releases this energy as a glow. You can repeat this cycle millions of times. Applied properly, glow in the dark paint will lose 5% of its brightness every 10 years. Any light will charge the paint. Direct sunlight, high wattage bulbs, or black lights are needed to obtain the maximum glow.

Glow in the dark paint is often used for professional murals and to paint glow in the dark stars on ceilings. Due to its durability, it is also perfect for painting glow in the dark fishing lures and outdoor signs. Sealing coats are not generally needed. It is critical that you apply this paint at least 1/16" thick (4 oz per sq. foot) for proper glow and a smooth appearance.

Our glow in the dark paint is shipped ready to use with a standard brush or roller. Thin with acrylic thinner or a tiny amount of water. Clean up with soapy water. We do not recommend that our glow in the dark paints be applied to the skin or hair.

The Challenge of glow in the dark paints

Posted by Al M Murry on Dec 25th 2017

I have just finished a side by side comparison of various glow in the dark paints. I have only used the blue paint so far and the results are that the Glow Inc paint is brighter than the others. Just wondering...should the paints be stirred up prior to using?

A Little Goes a Long Way!

I purchased this set for jewelymaking and assorted craft projects. It dries nearly clear, with a slightly rough texture that can be easily smoothed with a coating of varnish. You may need 2 coats of paint to get the best effect, but it only takes a small amount to get a superior glow. The aqua blue glowed brightest/longest for me, though I expected the green would come out ahead. Both are very bright and long lasting (hours, although they dim appreciably about a minute after the initial charge). The true blue was also bright and visible for hours. The purple is a beautiful color, although it needs black (UV) light if you want an enduring glow. The white was white initially, fading to a sort of pale blue. Not as spectacular as the others, but very pretty. I also had good luck mixing the colors for interesting effects. Highly recommend!

Really works

I had my doubts, but OMG this really works.
Definitely going to come back and try the other products. I did a mural of a forest in my twins room. At nite the forest disappears and galaxy appears. You can't even see the difference. The Glow water base Is clear so will not affect my day mural.

Excellent glow and invisible during daytime

Don't let the small size fool you. A little goes a long way, especially for ceiling starscapes in the kids rooms. Ultra green and ultra blue glow incredibly bright and long. The others, not as much so but still very cool. Water based and easy cleanup. Way better than anything at the hobby store or home improvement store.
